The Pinup Thread
I'm afraid that I haven't been around here for a while (feeling a bit low) and this is the first thread that I opened today and it was wonderful seeing so many amazing and beautiful photographs. Thank you! :)- Countess

What's on Top - Bras, panties, garter belts, slips, & stockings
I've been a stockings wearer for quite a while and I'd been wrestling with a regular deep suspender belt for ages. They look great ... just not on me. I have a Mum-Tum, so no matter how deep the suspender belt was, it always managed to slide down to underneath the tum and make me look and feel...- Countess

Miss, Mrs. or Madam? The demise of Ms?
Good question! I was adamant at first about retaining Mrs. but as a little time has gone by and I'm now in a new relationship, I guess I'm starting to feel a little uneasy about using Mrs. Plus it's somewhat awkward when my new partner and I venture out and we're needing to use our full names...- Countess

New Ladies and Gents Step Forward
Good morning! I've introduced myself in The Powder Room a little while ago but thought I should say hello here too. I'm Countess, in England and like everyone here, love vintage. My style of dress is more inspired as opposed to following it correctly so I imagine I make quite a few fashion...- Countess

Miss, Mrs. or Madam? The demise of Ms?
I'm widowed and have been trying to get away with calling myself Mrs. but I'm noticing that I'm increasingly starting to tick the Ms. box in forms. I'm not quite sure what the etiquette with prefixes is when one is widowed but I think by the end of this year, I'll have stopped fighting the...- Countess

Show us what you've made!
Thank you for the compliments. *smiles* sixsexsix - I was a little nervous for exactly the same reason! I used buttons which are about 1.5cm or so, so that they're quite hefty to grab hold of when I do some sort of weird contortionist manoeuvre with my arms around my back. I think I need to...- Countess

Show us what you've made!
Vintage inspired blouse I'm admiring so many of these creations, and here is my latest one which I finished today. It's vintage-inspired, so not from a vintage pattern. It's Simplicity 7219 but I liked the scalloped hem and the neck line and I had some kitsch fabric that was screaming out to be...- Countess

Comments You Get When You Dress Vintage
I know what you mean and I agree. A lot of what is 'fashion' in the shops for women doesn't fit all body shapes, so what would look good on one shape, doesn't for another, which doesn't make them look too feminine and at ease with themselves. Most of my friends are guys and they all have a...- Countess

I've been looking at this thread and there is a whole host of amazing things that you've all made. Fabulous inspiration! :D I make some of my own clothes but I'm not *that* good at it yet, but with practice, who knows. I also detest ironing!- Countess

Comments You Get When You Dress Vintage
Out today, a lady approached me and said to my five year old daughter: "Doesn't your Mummy look like a princess. Wow!" To which my daughter replied: "I look like a princess too" and pouted ;)- Countess

New Ladies and Gents Step Forward
*waves* Good evening ladies, I'm new round these parts thanks to my partner stumbling across the site and shouting to me "I think I've FINALLY found somewhere perfect for you online, love". So after a little lurking around for a few days, I thought I'd take the plunge and say 'hello'. :)...- Countess
